The antique car hobby has lost a genuine and an enthusiastic car guy who was very knowledgeable in a variety of automotive subjects . Sometimes quiet and in the background , but once he was engaged in any automotive conversation he quickly became the focal point and was a major contributor. Understated and never braggadocious, but once you knew him you realized he was a wealth of automotive information. His discerning taste in picking out just the right car with just the right amount of patina and history for his own collection is indicative of his being a true automotive connoisseur. I always was anxious to hear his opinion when it came to automotive and political subjects, it made for interesting conversation , especially at our periodic luncheons where other old car guys would attend. Bob was truly young at heart to the end.
It just won't be the same with him gone.

With sincere sympathy, Ralph Hubbard
